July 9, 2008 Kevin Cash hit his second home run of the season helping the Boston Red Sox to a 18-5 Fenway Park win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon.
Our View:Cash only received one at-bat on the day because All Star Jason Varitek played battery mate to Josh Beckett. Varitek went 0-for-4 and his now hitting a lowly .220 on the season.
June 27, 2008 According to the Boston Herald, Kevin Cash’s three-run home run Wednesday night was his first long ball in two years. With Jason Varitek slumping offensively, with just two hits in his past 16 at-bats, Cash's three RBI were a welcomed sight.
Our View:Cash is said to have a power stroke, and it's often on display during batting practice. But don't expect Cash to see more playing time simply because veteran Jason Varitek is slumping. Cash's duties include giving Varitek some relief when needed and catching Time Wakefield every fifth day.
June 25, 2008 Kevin Cash, starting with Tim Wakefield on the hill, crushed a slider from Juan Cruz into the night for his first home run of the year, a 3-run shot in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Our View:Cash isn't much of a second option even in AL Only leagues, but he will continue to pick up starts as long as he continues to handle Wakefield the way he has of late.
June 2, 2008 Kevin Cash will start at catcher tonight against Baltimore, according to MLB.com.
Our View:Knuckle-baller Tim Wakefield is starting for Boston tonight, and Cash typically catches him. Cash has raised his average to .302 over 53 at-bats this season, but is yet to hit a homer.
May 23, 2008 Kevin Cash got a start on Thursday, and he will be back behind the plate on Friday when Tim Wakefield is on the mound.
Our View:There's nothing wrong with Jason Varitek. Cash typically handles Wakefield and Wednesday was a scheduled day off for Varitek.
